alright everyone. ive been working on this for a while and finally [almost] finished it.
but its basically finished...here it is.
its LED everything....well, everything cool that is.
its also my carputer with my custom SCREEN mold and custom HEADUNIT relocation....
carputer spec.
screen: lilliput 7" touch screen
processor: VIA C7 2.0ghz @ 21w
mobo: VIA C7 chipset
ram: corsair 1GB ddr2
HDD: 160 gb western digital
case: custom
keyboard: logitech media remote w/ wireless keyboard
headunit spec.
Pioneer permier DEH-P790BT
(this means i use this headunit to make phone calls throught my car via bluetooth.)
picture of my molded dash. my first time molding anything. not bad.
more pixs of the process will be posted TOMORROW


hahaha yes, i still play Counter Strike...even while i drive...hAHHAHA jk


headunit relocation mold:

i dropped it on accident. opps. had to REDO that whole side....took me a long time to perfect it again.

here is a picture of my COMPUTER's case. i could have easily spent 50 bucks to get a case, but hey, whats the fun in that? build my own case from pixi glass (get it at homedepot)
then i painted it black. its pretty small...real small actually...shoe box size....
i got the mounting frame from a regular pc case and i cut it out.



then i cut out that pixi glass and made sides and a top cover with a fan.



the top cap

heres the case with the cap on, as a whole unit

on top, where the power supply origionally was placed, i made a custom bracket for the hard drive and the PSU of the carputer.
its an OPUS 150w smart power supply.

Re: TEASSSSSSERS....dont you hate em?
now.....what youve been waiting for.....
ive done this for ever car ive owned, as well as for about 10000 other cars....
LED *****!!!!!!!!!!!!! HHAHAHHAHAHa
lets first start with the VENTS....and center dash console
NOTE: THESE LEDs ARE NOT AS BRIGHT AS THEY APPEAR...i set it as appature priority so i could get as much light possible. but they are bright...
ALSO, they are TOTALLY adjustable (meaning i can dimm it) i just use the stock dimming switch on the guage.






^macro on the itunes!!! hahhaha
now, since i have a 2001, i have a lil center dish....which is also lit. as well as the lil pocket behind it.
the biggest problem in here was how to light ONLY the lil bowl dish...and not let light escape upward...but i solved it. so here it goes....





this is the pocket behind the dish, you see the LED?

heres the LED for the dish...but you can see is when you sit in the car...

the CUP HOLDER LEDS!!!!!!
i put my air freshener in there.....cuz it looks cool.....
vodka sky bottles looks cool too..its the best IMO...but hey, i didnt have one laying around...lol

(beautiful, isnt it?)

(yes, im a macro *****)





^this is the pocket under the RELOCATED HEADUNIT...its also lit...
.
.

i think varner88 was getting rid of his hybrid guages cheap. Not sure if he sold them. I could provide you a wiring diagram for them if needed. I put them in my coupe. Your car must be wired up like a damn christmas tree...and it lights up like one too!
